Tip
If you're traveling during the summer
months, keep your swim suit handy as
there will be plenty of opportunities for
a quick dip along the way.
There are several small resorts throughout the
region that offer swimming in natural pools.
Another good idea is to pack a lunch and other
refreshments for impromptu picnics en route.
You will be gradually climbing higher into the
mountains throughout the trip.
Be sure to bring
plenty of sun
protection as the
sun can be quite
strong at these
altitudes.
Since you will be returning via the same route,
you should plan on making some of the stops as
you head north and save others for the return
trip. By keeping stops short you can complete
this circuit in a day, but it will be much more
enjoyable if you stretch it out over several days
to get a real feel for the province. We've
included several hotels along the way.
Although reservations may not always be nec-
essary, you should plan on reserving ahead dur-
ing the summer months, December through
March, and Easter Week.
Although a car is best, you can also travel this
route by train. Seven days a week, the
